Amaya Hills Kandy
5 starsThis property participates in our Preferred Properties Program. Preferred Properties offer excellent service and quality in relation to the best available rates. We highly recommend this property based on this, and on feedback received from previous guests.

This property has been on Booking.com since Nov 23, 2010.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Language: I would've loved to say the staff speak broken English
however they are not even able to communicate in a proper way, and no
matter what you say or ask or request the answer is yes!! Room dining
took me 25 minutes to communicate a simple dish with the room dining,
spa: took a facial treatment massage, however they don't even have
make-up removing pads and using tissues to remove products from the
face, spa is so gloomy and not professional staff, not Recommended!!!!
_Staff: you will find staff yelling and talking to each other next to
your door every morning, if not they would have their morning chit chat
in the other side which is the garden, if you are fond of your morning
snoozes please do bring your ear plugs. _Attitude for the staff, but I
think it's common for Ceylon people. _The rate for $ exchange is
outrages and the least from all over the Sri lanka . Wifi is free of
charge however it doesn't have the coverage in most of the areas in
the hotel.

I believe this hotel was very good once however, it is nothing like 5*
anymore. Thankfully they have upgraded my room to the villas in the
first floor with my own patio. The only good thing about this hotel is
the location and the food quality. The location is amazing the view is
breathtaking. You never get enough of staring at all those greenery.

I'm sure this hotel use to be the best in the city, but complacency is letting it slip

The view; just about the only real positive

Very very noisy, you can hear everything going on in the hallway, plus hotel had some functions during both nights of our stay, it was impossible to sleep; double bed is just 2 singles pushed together; unstable WiFi.

Only the view from the hotel. You get a nice view from the room only if you book deluxe room though.
